If you’re like many Minnesotans, your lakeshore dreams will start with a lake lot, which can be a secluded wilderness retreat, a family getaway where the kids can disappear for hours, or a place to get away from everything and fish.

Why buy hunting land? Those who own land where many memories of hunting together are built can answer this question with ease. It's a place to call our own, to make memories, and to pass on to future generations.

Northern Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin are full of lake cabins and seasonal cabins in the woods. Three-season cabins can be primitive and rustic or homey, cozy, and full of charm and are often more affordable than larger year-round cabins.

Is there anything more classically “Up North” than a log home on a lake? Picture a gorgeous log home with a wrap-around porch, stands of aspen and red pine and a clear, spring-fed lake with fishing, wildlife, and a pace that's quieter and simpler.

Whether it’s on the shore of Winnibigoshish, White Iron, or the Woman Lake Chain, a lake home is a special place. It calls to us in our harried urban lives, beckoning us to come, relax, and spend some quality time with the ones we love. What could be better?

It’s not always about the lake. Some people look for a ten, forty, or larger acreage retreat where they can garden, raise chickens, hunt, and work. Whether you're dreaming of retirement or a vacation hobby farm, Northview Bank can help.

For many who buy vacant land or a lake lot, an RV is often their first form of shelter. Whether they leave a travel trailer at the property or drive a motorhome back and forth, recreational vehicles are an affordable and comfortable home away from home.

Getting away from the rat race for a weekend or for good is the dream of many midwesterners. People dream of a life with no rush hour, chirping birds, and more space. Living in the country gives you a slower pace where you can live life on your own terms.
